Title: Gears
Description: Genetically Enhanced & Altered Robotics

This is a revival of my origional GEARS which didnt get very far. I really liked the idea though and hoped this one might go further.


In the year 2118, the American government, no longer a superpower since the great storms of 2082 turned much of it into a wasteland, craved to have power once more. It put the majority of its resources into a program based on the research of doctor Ian Garron. His dream was to advance the human race through various robotic implants. They named the program GEARS; Genetically Enhanced and Altered Robotics. Basically the program was created to develop cyborg super warriors. Ground troops who could sustain much gunfire and would be immune to chemical warfare and radiation, but would also have the mind of a human, which robots would never be complicated enough to match. The American scientists worked closely with Dr. Ian, as his own research was invaluable to the program and for several years project GEARS developed powerful combinations of man and machine, but in the end they proved far too costly to create. After the program was shut down they had made 42 GEARS Cyborgs and attempted to seize control of more land by pushing north and south, using their GEARS units as commandos. The rest of the world saw the threat America could be, and stopped their forces before they could gain too much control. Seeing the entire planet turned against them they retreated, accepting defeat. Most of the GEARS units were terminated. Shut down and frozen in a GEARS lab deep underground. There were a few however who escaped before they could be deactivated. These few Cyborgs roam the planet, hiring themselves out as mercenaries or simply hiding away in the most shadowy corners of the world.

Recently however, many of the surviving GEARS units have recieved electronic transmissions from an unknown source, telling them that soon their time will come. Their time will come to do something right. To work against the country that let them down. To revive the fallen GEARS units who were betrayed by their own people.





RULES

God-moders will be beaten to death and banned. If your character gets hit, you don’t have to be bruised or injured all the time, but please compromise and allow your character to lose at some point instead of being victorious all the time. That would ruin the fun for others and also do keep it realistic with the some use of logic. A warning will be sent out first, before being removed if s/he persists. This includes no killing of other’s characters without the user’s consent, so remember to respect other writers.

Detailed posts are preferred. Paragraphs aren’t a must but descriptive posts are much more interesting to read and visualize rather than one-liners.

Romance is allowed to any level, as long as it does not dominate the thread. (If necessary, take it to pm’s) The main genre is action and adventure, swearing is also allowed but the abuse of this will not be tolerated.

Once joined, I expect to see you posting in the thread. If you are not posting often enough, your position will be given away to someone else. If your going to be away for awhile, PM me and add a twist in the story that lets your character leave for awhile. Stick them in a coma or something.

All other basic rules for this forum apply. Follow them and the admins might not strike you down with miltiple bolts of lightning.

(Half of these rules were stolen from Mina Blades, five souls of akachi thread, cheers Mina)

History: Dean was a military sergeant who was wounded in training exercises, his legs horribly deformed. He voluntarily signed up for the GEARS program so he could walk again and help his country. They did this, transforming him into Bane, the seventh GEARS unit. Later on he was given various upgrades to keep him up to date with the newer GEARS units being created. After the deactivation of the other gears units, Bane began to hate his country for what it did. In the beginning he saw it as an injustice that the American government deactivated the other GEARS units, and he sought for a way to reactivate them.

Battle/alternate mode/s:
http://tyshea.deviantart.com/art/Cyborg-Se...-Spear-61646734

Personality: Unlike some of the other cyborgs, Razor is not cool or collected whatsoever. Years of solitude have made him just a bit crazy, however he knows the difference between his friends and his enemies. He craves combat, finding entertainment in it, and would jump intoa fight for the sole purpose of being in a fight. He is a bit sadistic at times, but is very loyal to those who allign themselves with him, and could be trusted if trust was given. He has a large good side, it's just blocked from the light some of the time.

Enhancements:He has incredible speed, and is very strong. special enhancements in the eyes grant him night vision, and special stealth technology allows him to temporarily turn invisible. However, this invisibility malfunctions when it gets wet, and he can not do it when attacking a target. In Battle mode, his speed is increased dramatically, giving him the ability to run along or up walls with ease.


Weaponry:

History:Razor was a cancer patient, deemed uncurable before the new technology america had invented came into play. They came to HIM one day offering him a choice...either die in a few months, or live a life as a Gear. He agreed to iot, but made them promise one day he would get to see his family again, to which they agreed. Then the government started deactivating Gears units. Razor ran, somehow managing to escape. However, what he found wasn't to his liking. His parents had been killed the day he had become a Gear, in order to prevent anyone else from knowing. Ever since, he has spent his time wandering, far away from civilization, slowly building up a great hatred towards the government thst did this to him. He will have his revenge, or die trying.

Personality: Arlana is some one who looks at life in different perspective then most.

History: She doesn't really remember her past. She only remembers the day she woke up as a Gear. She was a failed attempt as a spy Gear. She wasn't capable of shapshifting or disappearing to where she could get past her enimies. She was suppose to be one of the first to be deactivated but escaped. She was in hiding for the longest time but was learning and shaping her skills with making rubber skin to make her look exactly like a human.She could look like anyone she wanted. She attempted to some how get the files of all the Gear to find others who escaped and learn about them.
